I haven't tried this.  What kind of header incompatibilities do you
get?  Could you post some of the error messages?

In theory the headers we export (mostly jni.h) should be both source-
and binary-compatible with Sun.

The same should hold true for JNI headers generated by javah, but I
think we have a couple known 'gcjh -jni' buglets.  In your case,
though, I'd expect you're using the "real" javah, and thus "shouldn't"
see this.
